Hi
1blue, welcome to the BAUT forum.
Presuming that the Hubble Space Telescope manages to keep its gyros healthy enough to get to the next servicing mission, it should stay in operation for another five to ten years after that. The limiting factor will be that at some point, the new gyros we put in will fail, and before it is completely uncontrollable, it will need to be deorbited.
